hi, new here, just wanted to add, read an article they've at least found how the virus 'mutates' to avoid the vaccine but still add the vaccine will still work. Keep our fingers crossed. Prayers & Blessings to those fighting. --> How SARS-CoV-2 mutates to escape antibody binding https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210203144533.htm

A friend of mine tested positive and his fiancee caught it from him, he said he felt under the weather for a couple days but overall fine. His sense of taste and smell is totally gone though, he's hoping that comes back soon, it's been about 2 weeks.

Concerned that the cases of immune thrombocytopenia that have been linked to the covid vaccines are going to discourage uptake.
It should be noted that this condition is rare, not unique to the covid vaccine, and almost never fatal.
It is also a complication of covid; patients who develop severe ITP from the vaccine would drop dead quickly if they actually caught covid without a doubt in my mind. Some people just have immune systems that destroy their platelets when stimulated for reasons we do not understand.
So far less than 1 in a million recipients have had anaphylaxis, none of them died, and 1 in 31 million people has died from stroke probably related to the vaccine.
If you develop little red spots and/or bruising after the vaccine just seek medical attention, it can be treated if caught in time.

So the chance of dying of covid is at least 1 in 400, and the chance of dying from the vaccine is 1 in 50 million. Can you imagine going gambling with an antivaxxer?
Btw, that chance of dying from covid isn’t it you get it. That’s the covid mortality rate for the entire population of New Jersey. If you lived in New Jersey in the past year, you had a 1 in 400 chance of dying from covid.

Cases are cratering now. 15% of the population has been vaccinated. Another 30% has gotten antibodies the old fashioned way. Light at the end of the tunnel.

I heard a virologist say that people who have had covid only need to get one dose of the of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. He said that people who had covid react to those vaccines first dose the way most people react to the second dose, meaning that their immune system was already primed to have s strong immune response to the spike proteins.

My wife has an appointment to get the Pfizer vaccine this Saturday, she picked the last time slot available and I'm going to go with her in case someone didn't show and there are any left over that would go bad otherwise.
My dad and his wife called up a hospital local to them and they had 7 shots that were going to go bad unless someone used them, they blasted up to the hospital and got their first Moderna shots a few days ago.

Canada is now saying they’re going to suck out 6 doses from each vial of vaccine instead of the 5 doses they originally were sucking out. How will this affect the vaccines ability to do its job? Is this a bad idea on Trudeaus part? I think we’re talking about the Pfizer vaccine here..

I've been so confused by this entire media discussion.
I've even heard them talking about needing "special needles" to get the "last dose" out.
I give the Pfizer vaccine on a volunteer basis at a hub here for half a day every week.
Every unit has a vial with normal saline and a vial with the un-reconstituted vaccine. The pharmacist removes the the normal saline from its vial and injects it into the vaccine vial. The vial is gently swirled, the expiration time is labeled, and it is delivered to the vaccinators as needed. We, the vaccinators, have multiple choices of needles to choose from. Regardless, the amount for the injection is 0.3mls.
2/3 of people get a 1", 25gauge "Vanishpoint" (has a mechanism for retracting the needle directly back up into the syringe after injection) needle with a 1ml syringe attached. These are new and I believe they were bought in large quantity for giving this vaccine but I'm not certain about that, but maybe that is what they meant by "special needles".. The rest (heavy people) get either a 1.5" 23 or 1.5" 25 gauge needle, depending on whatever is around.
No matter what kind of needle/syringe I use, not only do I get 6 0.3ml doses out of every single vial, there is ALWAYS about a half dose worth of liquid LEFT OVER after the six have been given. When I first noticed this I asked what to do with it and they said "throw it away". We can't draw up half a dose from one vial and then half from another. I assume the reason they do this is because it's impossible to get exactly the right amount of liquid from a multidose vial for a last dose without either leaving some air in the syringe/needle or some liquid in the vial.
Regardless, I don't understand this whole "5 doses" discussion. How is anybody only getting five doses out of the vials?
So there are presumably hundreds of thousands of half doses sitting around expired in sharp containers somewhere

Why does having a bit of air matter? It’s IM that will diffuse in minutes

I mean to be perfectly honest it doesn't matter and in practice nobody cares except when the inspectors are looking. I guess they didn't get the memo that it doesn't matter, something about "you might accidentally hit a blood vessel and cause an embolism" or whatever even though it literally never happens in the deltoid. Maybe there is a different rationale for not drawing up from multiple vials. Maybe it has to do with difficulty keeping count/track. The place seems pretty concerned about doses being "misappropriated"- there are eyes on both patients and workers. But the amount of liquid left in the vial after six doses just seems excessive to me, and there is clearly active ingredient in there. I'm just not sure what gives...

If they had 20 dose vials you’d only be losing 1 out of 41 doses instead of 1 out of 11
